Are Yahoo Sure You Want A Copy?

RightNahoo! is available as a super-experimental unsupported product. We built it in 24 hours for Yahoo's OpenHackLondon Hackday. There's definitely bugs in the application, and we can't guarantee it won't kill kittens when you install it on your machine.

However: if you're feeling brave and fancy taking a look at it, please make sure you're happy with the risks of using this application (remember: it's highly unstable & absolutely unsupported) then there's a build available, along with the desktop and iPhone source. Our lawyers asked us to point out that we're not liable for any damages caused through the use (or mis-use) of this application: you really are on your own if you choose to download it.
